Has This Happened Before?

Aaron's P.O.V.

"You remember what skill tree you're going down, right?"

"Um... Maybe?"

Christian let out an aggravated sigh. I'm playing a videogame with Christian and i have the support character. ‘He just won't shut up about it will he? I haven't played this in over a year so I have no idea what I'm doing.’

"Are you dumb? For the third time, the Harmony skill tree!"

Ding Dong!

"Ugh, someone's at the door hold on."

"Someone's at your door?

"Yeah, why?"

"Who the hell would be at YOUR door?"

"Excuse me?"

A smile crept onto my face.

"Say it again."

I started gritting my teeth as I cringed.

"... Go fuck yourself."

"NEVAAAARRR!” I yelled. I sat there for a minute as I waited, assuming it would only take a minute. I sat there, waiting for about two minutes before I started walking around Sanctuary.

3 Minutes later...

I spent another 3 minute's blasting the test dummy to shreds as he squirmed on the table, I stopped because I had no money for ammo. ’This is so tedious it almost hurts,’ I thought. Eventually I found myself running in circles around Christians character, occasionally punching him.

thud

”FINALLY, I THOUGHT YOU DITCHED ME!” I screamed, my aunt went out for the day, otherwise I would've already been kicked off of the Xbox for what she assumes is cursing, even if i were to simply just yell.

"Hey I don't have much time to talk, but let's just say you'll have some visitors, seeya!" He said quickly as he took the mic of again, much to my dismay.

"You dick!" I yelled into the mic, I sighed as I left his game before he shut his console off. ‘Wait... “you'll have some visitors”? How the hell would he know tha-’

Ding Dong!

I sat there for a moment, stupefied, ‘how... in the fuck…?’ I hopped off my bed and went to the kitchen to grab a knife, just in case, when I checked the window, I had no idea that one of them would be so familiar... there's a boy - no, teenager - with a hood over his face that I've never seen before, I know that much. But the woman reminded me of someone, ‘no, not someone,’ I thought, ‘some... Pony? No even I think that's ridiculous!’

I slowly made my way to the door so they don't hear my footsteps and expect when the door would open. When I opened the door with the knife behind my back, the woman was still there with a warm smile standing next to the teenager. He still had his hood over his head, but his seemingly straight face smiled too when I opened the door. The woman, although smiling, had a certain air of authority, but it still struck me as familiar.

The hooded teenagers smile suddenly vanished, "Aaron, put the knife away," he commanded. I was baffled, ‘he knew I had a knife? He knows my name? His voice was familiar too... but that's ridiculous, Christian lives across the country,’ I thought. The woman looked at him with a confused look as I held the knife out to get ready to throw it on the table, but he assumed I was getting ready to attack.

"Woah dude," he said, taking his hood off as the woman frowned slightly at the sight of my knife, "you wouldn't stab your best friend, would you?"

"Christian?" I asked in disbelief.

He smiled again, "yup, I said you would have some visitors, didn't I?" he said smugly. ‘I can't believe this,’ I thought ’some how, Christian must have learned some crazy, bullshit voodoo magic, and teleported here. Wait...’

I looked at the woman, "and who are you?" I questioned, looking her up and down, It was really starting to bug me that she looked so familiar to me.

"Seeing as Christian already knows, my name is Princess Celestia, your Aaron right?" she responded with a warm smile on her face again, holding her hand out. ‘Okay so Christian didn't learn some voodoo magic bullshit... It was Celestia's voodoo magic bullsh-WHAT!?’

"I.. Uh... It's nice to meet you...?" I stuttered quietly as I shook her hand, having difficulty absorbing the information, baffled that Princess Celestia is actually standing in front of me. I let them in and led them to the living room and we all sat down.

“Alright," I started, "I'll ask, what the fuck?"

About 7 minutes of explaining later...

"So... our dreams are linked..." I said slowly, pointing between me and Christian a few times,

"you're here because Christians a pussy..." I continued, pointing to Celestia, earning a middle finger from Christian and a small frown from Celestia when I cussed. "and because both of our lives suck here, you're bringing us to Equestria for a chance to have a better life?” I finished, earning a nod from Celestia.

There was a moment of silence. "Alright, yeah I'm down. Just let me go get some things before we go," I happily declared, getting up to go to my room. As I gathered my phone, and my charger into my backpack after emptying it and putting my hoodie on, I couldn't help but think about everyone else who knows us.’What if I had a son or nephew or whatever-the-hell that suddenly disappeared out of nowhere?’ I shivered at that thought, ‘they will definitely notice two teenage boys disappearing of the face of the Earth at the same time without a trace.’ I walked back into the living room to find Celestia watching Christian mess with his his phone.

His ears slid back and he looked up at me, "hey, before we go I have a question," He said after he looked to Celestia, "won't people notice two teenagers suddenly disappear for no reason?" He asked her with narrowed eyes.

Her face suddenly turned serious for once, "actually I planned for that too. When I start the trans-dimensional spell, I will also cast another spell to wipe the memories of those who have ever met you -only their memories they have of you, not all their memories, mind you- and one that will destroy all evidence of your existence. Now I understand that it may sound rather... dark, but its the only option, that or you both stay on Earth." she clarified. Me and Christian looked at each other with wide eyes for a moment, then looked back to her with determined expressions.

"Yeah, lets go to Equestria." Me and Christian said at the same time, making Celestia smile again and giggle. Celestia stood up and raised her hands and closed her eyes. Her right hand started glowing pink, as her left started glowing red. She brought her hands down in front of her, closing her hands into tight fists, causing the glowing of her hands to separate and combine in front of her in a swirl. Her eyes snapped open, burning white as a light purple orb appeared above the red and pink swirl and combined. I could feel the heat it was emitting.

She suddenly crushed the orb between her hands and it exploded in a bright purple flash, burning my eyes.
